DECEMBER SELLS T O 77CAND CLOSES STRONG Tho Wheat Market Stimulated by a Better Demand for the Cash Article. Also Larger Weekly Clearances Weather Not the Best and Receipts Moderate. Th Bear Arguments All Thought to Be Discounted in Good Part. Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Oct. 2. Wheat jumped almost a cent this morning. De cember opened at 76%c against yesterdaj 's close at T6@76%c, and sold quickly to 76%c, while May opened at 7794c and sold to 78c. The bulls were confident th at the turn had been made and that further advances were tp come, but at the higher figures enough selling came out to farce Deeembei back to 7t%c where It stuck. De cidedly less bear talk was heard, however, and the general tone of the market was greatly Im proved. Some new buying was shown and out side orders were more numerous than for several days. The bears had a long line of weakening facts and figiues to set out, but their gossip was not new. While there are many bearish things in the view, there are few bearish items that are new. The local stocks were shown to have Increased 1,200,000 bu, but this had been dis counted long ago The cash market is still un satisfactory on the whole, but not more so than earlier In the week, and by comparison with the worst time the cash market really shows improvement. For the first time In some days the foreign marke ts showed disposition to come up a little and Liverpool was ^ d higher. Paris cables also showing moderate strength. The September option is out of the waj and it is a long look ahead to December. The weather now is not good. Two days of rain brought no precipitation heavy enough to cut down the movement of grain or do any harm. Still no one pretends to say th at damp weather is the desira ble thing. Present atmospheric conditions cer tainly do not advance northwestern wheat con ditions any, and with showers again predicted for to-night and Saturday, the outlook as to threshing and the movement in general is not the best. Receipts are not heavy, and the three principal points all ran under last year, Min neapolis getting 355 cars against 374, Duluth 348 against 362, and Chicago 43 against 121, while Kansas City had 171 cars against 86, and St Louii 107,000 bu against 117,000 bu Mean while the flour mills, badly crippled as they are by the strike, are doing some business, and the fact th at the past three days show shipments of 20,188, 16 828 and 18,798 barrels respectively, Is pretty good evidence th at the lnduustry is far from being completely paralyzed, even tho the 65,814 barrels put out In the three days is much less than would go out to one day under different circumstances. Total primary receipts were 1,118.000 bo, against 1,210 000 bu, and shipments, 807,000 bu against 795,000 bu. Wheat and flour clearances, with the report from Newport News missing, showed 560,000 bu. Baltimore cleared 66,000 barrels flour. Bearish news continues coming from eastern Europe, and it was reported th at wheat stocks at Odessa increased 4,720 000 bu during the week. Argentine shipped 448,000 bu this week, against 988 000 in the previous week. Broomhall's agent at Barcelona sent a sum mary of Spanish wheat yields which makes the total for Spain 16,000,000 bu below last year, or 107 000,000 bu The five year average for Spain Is 111,000 000 bu. The Modern Miller nys Weather conditions continue favorable for the seeding of winter wheat, which is making seasonable progress excepting in scattered sections, where there has been a lack of moisture, and where farmers are delaying this work in order to avoid insects The movement of winter wheat to market is of moderate volume, especially of the soft variety. Weekly" clearances show ed 4,092 000 bu. which was so much better than the last two weeks th at the bulls were encouraged by it. December wheat having been sold off to 76Wc rallied to 77c, and closed firm at high point' May closed firm at 78c, also high point Millers made their appearance In the cash market and bought a fair quantity of wheat with the result th at the market was stimulated all thru and a much more satisfactory showing was made than on any previous day of the week. No 1 northern brought 79(^79Vac and 80c for choice nnd No 2 northern sold at 77c for much of the ofterlngs THE FLOUR MARKET GOOD DEMAND FOR FIOI7ROUTPUT WILL BE LARGER. Shipments. 18,798 barrels The new feature to-daj Is the prospect of in creased production which looks more favorable. Flour demand is good and more orders aic being entered than earlier in the week. Millers were buyers of cash wheat to some extent this morning and sav th at they expect to grind more fiom the beginning of next week. The price situation shows little change and quotations are about the same. Tirst patents in wood, f. o. b., Minneapolis, are quoted $4 45@4 55 second patents, $4 35@ 445, first clears, ?3.65@3 75 second clears, ?2 75@2 85.

New York, Oct. 2.Dealings showed consider able activity and buying ordeis were all dis tiibuted thruout the list. Metropolitan Street Railway and Pressed Steel Car rose about a point, but the changes as a rule were limited to small fractional gains. Room traders found little difficulty in bidding up of prices in view of the dullness of the mai ket. Purchases by the short interest helped the movement along and encouraged the bulls to hold their stocks. St. Paul, Atchison, the Pa cifies, Reading, Louisville, New York Central, Manhattan and United States Steel preferred were in the best demand and improved a point or more. The opening rise brought out considerable stock, which forced prices down a small frac tion. The market then hardened giadually to a higher level than before. Gains.in the western stocks, coalers, tractions and Amalgamated aver aged about yjt, but the United States Steel stocks were rather sluggish. Canadian Pacific advanced 1%. and there were gains of 1 to 1 % in Wabash preferred, Erie 1st and 2d preferred, Hockiug Valley, Colorado & Southern 1st pre ferred, Chicago Great Western prefened B, Wisconsin Central preferred, General Electric and Paper preferred. ,Tbe market was sub jected to pressure agalji toward 11 o'clock, Bal timore & Ohio, Norfolk & Western, St. Paul and Canadian Pacific reacting a point and dragging down the general market. Later the tone of the stock mark et was rather heavy but dull. Baltimore & Ohio was the only active stock that fell a point below last night. Dock preferred fell 1, and Tennessee Central a point. Prices recovered to about last night be fore noon, but continued dull. Bonds were irregular. Professional operators concluded to take profits after the general level of prices was a point above yesterday's final. This selling was scarce ly felt outside of Amalgamated, which fell a sharp fraction and the ability of the market to take stocks prompted an immediate rally. Pretty much all of the well known stocks sold higher on the rebound, especially General Electric, Erie 2d preferred and Wabash preferred, which ited 2 points. Smelting preferred rose 3. The demand for the Erie stocks at advances of I for the common and first preferred and 2% for the second pieferred helped to hold the mai ket. But when this demand slackened, prices ran off a littje. Cotton Oil preferred rose 3, Pressed Steel Car 2 % and Metropolitan Street Railway 2. Morris & Essex sold 7 points below an old preceding sale. A drop of over ap olnt in St. Paul unsettled the closing which was rather feverish and irregular. Stock quotations repotted for The Journal by Watson & Co., brokers, Chamber of Commerce.

H e also maintained that the principle of acquiescence was not ap plicable to the present dispute and some what surprised all by declaring that un der the powers of the treaty of 1903 the Commissioners had no authority to de fine questions submitted to them, and that they could neither lay down the boundary nor decide what constitutes the coast. All the commissioners could do was to answer questions submitted to them by the treaty negatively or affirm atively. If they gave certain answers they might make matters mote confused than ever and open up a new series of diplomatic tangles. When Jacob M . Dickinson, of* counsel for the United States, rose to finish the argument, the room was filling up with spectators. H e commenced by belittling the minute examinations of maps and the bickering over words and details, declar ing that the case could be settled only by grasping the central idea animating the original negotiations.

New York, Oct. 2.Special telegrams to the International Mercantile Agency regarding the more important trade features are summarized as follows: Some concern has been felt lest the wage re duction movement, begun by pig iron makers and in the building tiades at St. Louis and elsewhere, may extend to other lines. Merchants in staple lines have begun to cut down orders, somewhat. At Minneapolis and tributary terri tory the jobbing demand Is less than expected, and it is thought collections may be delayed thirty days, altho spring wheat threshing pros pects are rather more favorable than last year. Country merchants thruout the northwest are beginning to hold off a little. Wholesale and retail trade In the iron and coal regions is somewhat upset over the shut downs, piesent and prospective, talk of concella tlons of orders for some varieties of steel, and checked buying by some manufacturers. In other directions trade is encouraging. Hardware is most active at Pittsburg. Shoe manufactur ers are having a very large trade. Stove and furniture makers at St. Louis are ordering far ahead. Louisville is overrun with country mer chants Philadelphia reports no decline In de mand, with improved collections. In New Eng land distribution runs 15 per cent ahead of last year. At Chicago wholesale and retail lines showv results of a heavy inflow of country buy ers. New Orleans Is suffering from a strike which ties up the port and affects general busi ness. I t is now clear that there will be a 2,000,000,- 000 bushel crop of corn and th at wheat will be above the average. This is already reflected in a better movement, export purchases, a better supply of commercial bills amTa drop In for eign exchange. Cotton receipts are far behind last jear, tho W. P. Brown of cotton corner fame, states to the International Mercantile Agency that there "will certainly be no scarcity of cotton In October." He declines to predict as to the current crop year. The southern California bean crop Is placed at 750,000 sacks, 65,000 more than last year. Aside from iron mine and furnace regions and in some building lines, careful canvass reveals no tendency thus far to reduce wages. Less activity in building lines is shown at Buffalo. Structural material, iron and steel Is quiet, and there is no new foreign business in steel and Iron New England cotton mills are slowly re suming, and woolen mills there are running full time. The Wall street reaction hits the money inter ests at a number of central western and west ern cities, with evidence shown in some instances in effects on business enterprises. Demands for funds for legitimate business are very heavy. Banks are having ail they can do to meet re qultements. The municipal security market is feeling the tension, and less is doing there There Is a better demand for winter goods in Ontario and Quebec. Dumping surplus English woolens there has hurt* the Dominion Industry Two plants have closed. The apple crop is very large, but the potato crop is a failure.
